I enjoy using Gnome and don’t really encounter any issues in my day to day use

(pls don’t kill me :))

Well you still bought a Google phone

Well yeah we could also use Briar or whatever… but would your grandma?

Facial recognition in smartphones is a very different thing from basically every point of view. Are you sure you don’t know a single person using an iPhone? Chances are they’ll be using FaceID to unlock their phone.

I don’t think I know a single person NOT using biometrics to unlock their smartphone.

Edit: I’m sure there at least 3 people on Lemmy that don’t use biometrics but that doesn’t change anything I’m pretty sure :D

Edit edit: another one! Maybe there are at least 4 people now.

Same in Germany.

I do believe it’s better than using iMessage for example but it’s undoubtedly rubbish.

This has happened to me way too frequently back when I had windows on my laptop lol

With absolutely no qualifications whatsoever I diagnose: defo a case of daft cunt syndrome

I’m not part of the hate crowd but I do believe I understand at least some of it.

A fairly big issue I see with it is that people just don’t understand what it is. Too many people see it as some magical being that knows everything…

I’ve played with LLMs a lot, hosting them locally, etc., and I can’t say I find them terribly useful, but I wouldn’t hate them for what they are. There are more than enough real issues, of course, both societal and environmental.

One thing I do hate is using LLMs to generate tons of online content, though, be it comments or entire websites. That’s just not what I’m on the internet for.

Sounds like half of the process your average Windows debloater goes through every time they update?

I can cook, I love cooking in fact.

I can’t afford to order food every day (price is usually about 5x that of a cheap home cooked meal here) but I totally get it.

When I get home after a fucking annoying day at work, I hardly want to exist, much less exist and spend time and effort cooking dinner.

But since I’m not rich I just eat bread or cook anyway lol

Car: huge list of requirements like insurance and all that

Public transport: ticket (optional)

Yeah no thanks

I know it’s not exactly the point of the article but for a lot of things, I reckon a good amount of ‘innovation’ was pretty pointless. I personally don’t think I ever needed anything that Office 2003 can’t do… (Of course I don’t use any MS office to begin with but you get the point)

Not quite.

$16k to get closer to what they promised lol Probably won’t do that much considering the added weight

German govt: 😊😊

I agree on the part that Musk sucks, OpenAI also sucks.

And yup, open source (if you can really call them that, I’d say they’re more like openly available) locally hosted LLMs are cool and have gotten pretty efficient nowadays.

My 5 year old M1 MacBook Pro runs models like Qwen3:14b at decent speeds and it’s quite capable (although I only ever use it for bullshitting lol).

I don’t think the video was bad and I’m glad desktop Linux is getting a good amount of attention this way.

But… I feel like he didn’t exactly show windows users what really expects them on Mint (which is a very similar but in many ways better and quite easy experience). This might be off putting to some unconvinced Windows users.

His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.
